What is it like to teach at Seven Generations?Seven Gen is such a unique school where students get to discover the answers to their own questions. Students get involved with their local community to not only see WHY they need to learn topics of study but HOW it impacts others in their world. Learning becomes a real-world experience that helps them grow into lifelong learners.

I have always been inspired by the work of the wonderful teachers at Seven Gen. I have watched these teachers assist students to find the way for their ideas and dreams to come true! From building and donating American Kestrel Boxes to local farms, growing vegetable gardens, recreating a day in the life of a colonial pioneer, or raising and releasing fish into their local habitat, these teachers make learning not only real world but also fun! I am excited to work at such an innovative school.
